Time for Mom to Take Care of Mom
The joys and rewards of motherhood—while deep and eternal—nevertheless can exact a heavy price on Mom’s body. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding often cause a woman’s body to stretch, sag and lose some of its youthful tautness and elasticity. But by combining a customized series of aesthetic surgical procedures into one session, moms can frequently “turn back the clock” and recapture their earlier shape and tone.
Collectively, these procedures are called a Mommy Makeover. Dr. Ramon Garza III at Dr. Garza Plastic Surgery is professionally and personally committed to patients’ health, happiness, and overall well-being. As a board-certified member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Garza is highly trained and very experienced in performing all of the procedures included in Mommy Makeover surgical combinations. Begin your treatment with a San Antonio Mommy Makeover consultation with Dr. Garza Plastic Surgery.
Comprehensive & Customized For You
Mommy Makeover is a generic term that refers to an array of surgical procedures that can be “mixed and matched” to address the individual and customizable aesthetic goals of a woman wanting to get her body back to pre-pregnancy shape. However, you needn’t be a mom to get a San Antonio Mommy Makeover.
Restore Your Pre-Pregnancy Body
Your personalized Mommy Makeover procedure will be designed to address all of your concerns so that you can live your most confident and fulfilling life. Mommy Makeover procedures can address a protruding abdomen, stretch marks, loose skin, sagging breasts, fat bulges in a variety of body areas including upper arms and thighs. If looking to receive a Mommy Makeover San Antonio candidates should be:
The goal is to help a woman restore the body she enjoyed prior to pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The procedures included in a woman’s Mommy Makeover surgical combination depends on how much restoration she desires, her specific needs, her anatomy, and her available recovery time. Mommy Makeovers are designed to enable multiple operations to be performed in the same surgical session to maximize aesthetic benefits and shorten overall recovery time.
The Mommy Makeover treatment areas generally include the abdomen and breasts, since they are almost always affected by childbirth. Breast procedures can include breast augmentation, breast reduction and/or breast lift. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a “tummy tuck”, flattens, smooths, and tightens the abdomen. Other procedures available under the Mommy Makeover “umbrella” include:
Depending on the combination of procedures selected, they can often be performed in one single operation. But for safety reasons, some combinations may be spread out over a series of surgical sessions.
Treatment Tailored to You
The success of your Mommy Makeover starts with a comprehensive and open conversation between you and your doctor. Because a Mommy Makeover entails multiple procedures, critically important decisions are made during your consultation. Explain your goals in specific detail, but be reasonable about setting them. Ask all the questions you want to, and express any and all concerns you may have. Your doctor will carefully review your medical history to help you determine what combination of Mommy Makeover procedures is right for you. You will find that Dr. Garza is an excellent, engaged, and engaging listener.
Plan For Surgical Success
A successful San Antonio Mommy Makeover begins in the weeks before your surgery. If you smoke, you’ll need to stop at least six weeks before your surgery. You will also be directed to suspend the use of any supplement or medication that could elevate surgical bleeding.
The length of your surgical session will depend on the number and nature of the procedures you have selected. In most cases, you’ll be able to go home on the same day as your surgery, although your doctor may want you to spend a night in the hospital or recovery facility.
After Surgery
Mommy Makeover Recovery, Results, and Aftercare
To maximize your results and speed and enhance your healing, it’s important to follow your doctor’s post-procedure recovery instructions diligently and completely. While every patient’s healing process is unique, most women return to work or school in somewhere between two and six weeks.
Maintaining your Mommy Makeover results
You can expect to see full results within six months, and your results should last for ten years or more if you maintain a steady weight. The best results come from a collaborative effort between a skilled practitioner and an informed patient. Begin your personalized treatment with Dr. Garza Plastic Surgery to ensure you receive compassionate, patient-focused care from a board-certified surgeon.
It makes sense to delay your Mommy Makeover until you are through having children. A pregnancy following Mommy Makeover can decrease your surgical results.
Some women who undergo aesthetic breast surgery report later difficulty in breastfeeding. That’s one more reason to put off Mommy Makeover until your family is complete.
Yes. But top-flight plastic surgeons such as Dr. Garza are adept at keeping incisions small and hiding scars in often unnoticeable places. After your surgery, taking proper care of your incision and following a good skin care regimen will help your scars fade over time.
That’s up to you and your doctor. Your chosen surgical procedures will be combined into one surgical session if they can be, and will always be performed in as few sessions as possible.
Assess your weight honestly. Pre-surgical weight loss can often improve your results.
Not much. But weight loss per se is not the objective. The goal of Mommy Makeover is to firm, tighten, lift, and restore.
You may be able to add non-surgical procedures, such as injectables like Botox, to your Mommy Makeover menu.
Since the procedures included in a Mommy Makeover “menu” are considered elective, aesthetic surgeries, your insurance will not cover the costs.
The cost of a Mommy Makeover will depend on the number and complexity of the procedures you choose, and the costs of any implants used in your combination of surgeries. Remember that combining multiple procedures into one surgical session reduces costs.
